    Good value and everything you need (that you choose select yourself) to have a great Sunday lunch. Just don't sit near the entrance when the weather is cold outside!...

    After booking in advance and arriving earlier then planned we hoped to of been seated sooner. However it was busier then expected so I guess we had to wait our turn. What I didn't like was people were arriving without a booking and being seated earlier then us? By time we actually got served our food and ate it was around 50 mins altogether. I really don't ever understand why it's only ever one person serving the food and not a few to help speed up the cue altogether.

    really nice attitude of staff but really really busy. The staff were helpful with my mother inlaw who was using a walker after surgery.

    After queueing for half an hour I chose the roast beef for my carvery meal, the beef served was very poor, with lots of gristle present in the cut of beef used for the carvery. This made the carved slices impossible to cut and chew which spoilt the meal, although the vegetables were very good. Perhaps a different cut of beef could be used for gaining better consistency of the roast joints, or improved butchery (removal of gristle) prior to cooking.

    I booked a table for 10 persons, although only 8 attended due to illness. The Table was near a window so nice and light. The food was very good. Good value. Our waitress (I believe her name was Karen) was very attentive and helpful. Overall an enjoyable experience.

    They did not have enough staff working. The wait time for queue/ being served your food was over 30 minutes. Only 1 chef. Very little staff working in a very busy restaurant. Food was good.

    My family were very impressed with the service and food that we received on Saturday. Your staff were courteous and as the restaurant was quite full, we received excellent and fast service. 2 of my family were visiting from Australia and they were impressed with everything. Will definitely be visiting you again, so once again 'thank you' to you and all your staff.

    This booking app is rubbish. The carvery cancelled our booking before we arrived for our reservation Your app obviously doesn’t work in conjunction with the actual restaurant- what a joke

    I made the reservation online 2 days before hand, arrived at the restaurant to find the reservation wasn't made even though I had the confirmation.

    Good choice of Sunday Roast. Good Ambience. It was very busy but only to be expected. Staff were helpful and food was very nice. Would recommend as good value for money.

    What you’d expect from a Toby’s. Relaxed pub like atmosphere with good roast!

    Waited over 10 minutes to be seated even though no queue. Busy due to an offer and seated rather close to another couple which was a little awkward. Serving staff were very young but very helpful. Food was good, bit of a wait for the vegan options, mushroom and ale pie, which was tasty but heavy. There could be more labelling of veg for main allergens or to cross ref with online allergen list (I can’t have milk). Otherwise a good value meal.

    Excellent meal. Mum had a wheelchair so concerned how this will be managed. However, we were in a great position, wheelchair friendly and my disabled mum felt part of the meal. Well done! Food was just brilliant!

    The booking was easy, the service was very good the only down side were the roast potatoes which were soft and soggy as if they had been reheated as the skin had separated from the flesh inside. This was our first trip since before Covid closed it down so thought it would be running perfectly but ice machine not working and ice cream wasn't cold enough so was a race to eat before it melted. We will have to try the breakfast again to see if they have replaced the toasters that didn't brown the bread on the first try then cremated it when you put it through again (luckily I like underdone toast). Hopefully have mastered runny eggs instead of the rubbery versions they used to serve, I bet there is still no fried bread. This always makes me laugh as most places seem to think fried bread unhealthy yet you are having an all you can eat fry up!

    Great value Carvery, £8.49 midweek and only £6.74 for meat free though plenty of veggie full meal options. Friendly service and good bar.

    The number 1 go to if you fancy a Sunday Roast. Good selection to choose from. Lovely fresh veg and proper fluffed up roast potatoes. The restaurant is nice and clean is air-conditioned. The staff are friendly, very helpful and attentive. The price is very reasonable too. What's not to love?

    First time I have been to a Toby Carvery and don't think I would bother again. The staff were all very young but were at least willing and friendly. The turkey was OK (my husband said the beef was tough) but the roast potatoes were rock hard and the carrots were dry. The dessert (Arctic Roll) was nice. Too many children running around the restaurant didn't make for a relaxing dining experience.

    Very good service from staff. Excellent food at reasonable price, with plenty of vegetable for vegetarians. The drinks dispenser wasn’t working properly so we reported it.

    If you go for breakfast They will gladly save you toast but you have to ask them for jam And marmalade as it is out of sight and they will not volunteer it

    The food was okay but as expected for the value. Service was very slow. Noisy lads on another table getting louder were annoying. It was far too hot in the restaurant and it would have been good to open a window.
